Consultant: Gary Chase.
This software maintains a list. A "Thing" is a scrap o
information that is one line (80 letters) long. In the bottom
third of your main window, various Things are displayed,
depending on the Filter on your list. Filters bring up
selected items in the list. Each list can be up to 800 items.
You switch between 3 such lists with File/Open. You can rename
the files from File/Open.
You can reverse the order of the list (the actual main list
is not reversed, just your view of it) by clicking on the
checkbox just above and to left of the list. This is useful,
as often the most recent items entered will be viewed first
in reverse order.
Special Feature: If you double click on a word in the
long white "Thing" data entry box, a Filter (search) by that
word would be done. For example, if the current thing reads
"Fred is coming next Tuesday", if you click on Fred in the
edit bar (not the main list) then all items mentioning Fred will
come up in the listbox. Similarily, if you double click on
a topic name, all things with that topic will be brought up.
Sometimes when you enter a new thing in, it will not
appear in the main list. This is because the new item does
not meet the current view's Filter request. This can be
disabled with Options/always show new..
You may print the current visible list with File/Print. More on
this and on copy/paste/group delete in the Edit/Options help
section.
A series of filters may be applied to see different
groups of Things. You may filter the list twice at any
given time. More on this under Filters. Thus you could filter
your list by Word (search for word), Date (various date
critereon), Topic (you set up your own topics), Important
(items can be marked important. A second filter can be
drawn from these choices, thus you could search for Word
("Bill") and 2nd search for Imortant, thus bringing up a
list of all items containing the word "bill" and marked Important.
The 2nd filter is available when the button "2nd filter" is lit in
light blue.
